Letters Texts Etc.

Memories

This was the last text Z sent me
Z:my parents think I'm spending to much time texting you (And I yelled a little bit when they told me I couldn't come)so they took phone,tablet,and computer away. Sorry😖

I felt like this every day when I hadn't heard from Zara=😖😩😫😭

Me and Zara were like a puzzle. You needed both parts to be complete.

Patty Norris asked me to come to her house. I refused.

😢

We went to amusement parks together. We watched Harry Potter movies together. Jeez,we even did HOMEWORK together! Our parents weren't very good friends seeing that they both had competing roller rinks. We first met each other when we were good going to Z's and her family's roller rinks to see what their secrets were for getting so many customers. Zara had fallen in the rink so I helped  her up. Our eyes met. And we have been BFFS ever since.

I miss Zara,we..we used to talk about how we could be like pan and cakes or peanut butter and jelly😞but not any more.

😞

Maybe we were just never ment for each other. Maybe that's why she moved. Maybe she only pretended to like me to expose secrets of our skate rink. All these thoughts make me cry.

But then again........ We had a club together. We babysat together. We texted each other 24/7. We baked cakes together. We rode to soccer,basketball,and softball practice together. These things make me stop crying.

Our Mom's got in a fight once. We had begged our parents to at least TRY to get along. They were talking about each other's rinks. My Mom had said (since Z's parents rink wasn't TOP of the line) that she didn't think that it could be so old fashioned. They got into a FULL BLOWN fist fight. They never tried to get along again.

Zara Zara Zara Zara. These were my thoughts every single day.And I mean EVERY SINGLE DAY. She hadn't texted me in three weeks.

I had softball practice today. I played third base. I was thinking about Z. The ball was hit to me. The ball hit me in the face.

A year after the ball incident my phone beeped. I ignored it. It beeped again. I ignored it again. It beeped again. This time I got the phone. It was Z! 😱

OMG! It's Z!
